That is how it is supposed to work. Like a capo. It is a GREAT feature!!

See if this makes sense...

I put a capo on my guitar - on fret 5.

I write a song in G - visually, anyway... a G at the 5th fret. I finish the song and it contains, let's say, 6 different chords - all of which I think of as they look as I play them on the 5th fret (with the capo).

Now, when I go to input the song into BIAB, I set the key to C - because a G played at the 5th fret with a capo is actually a C.

Enter a C at the first measure.

I set the capo to 5 - and that C becomes a G (just as I "see" it).

Now I can enter all the chords to my song - as I think of them - visually - using a capo.... G C D G Em... etc..... Otherwise, I would have to figure out what each of those chords REALLY were...

If you then remove the capo in BIAB - set it back to 0, you would see what the chord are actually... C F G C Am....

Makes sense?
